Who is Ann? For me she is a real person.
For you she's a mythical femail.

Let's construct together the book of Ann!

How does she feel? How does she thinks? How does she act? Is she a rebel? Is she a mother? Is she the salt of the earth?

Free size and medium. Text and poems are also welcome. Deadline for contributions is 31 December 2011.
All the contributions will be united in a time capsule.
Documentation on this blog.
Unfriendly femail mail art will be banned.

We respond differently to this one, to that one, the only way to understand is through pARTicipatory action. Ray Johnson (1927-1995); the American founder of the mail art network. Quote mailed to me by Gail D. Whitther from Canada.

Ann amongst the birds

FRANCIS BACON QUOTE

The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.

The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness. It is not like a drug; it is a particular state when everything happens very quickly, a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness, of fear and pleasure; it’s a little like making love, the physical act of love.+ Picasso was the first person to produce figurative paintings which overturned the rules of appearance; he suggested appearance without using the usual codes, without respecting the representational truth of form, but using a breath of irrationality instead, to make representation stronger and more direct; so that form could pass directly from the eye to the stomach without going through the brain.

Picasso was one of that genius caste which includes Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Van Gogh and above all Velázquez.
